Dear member of parliament,
I was just doing some reading-up on “Income-Splitting” and I had thought this was actually something real and not another government “fiddle-diddle” with the tax-payers program.
“Income-splitting” should allow a spouse/parent with no income to share or actually “split” the gross families income and not just shift taxes from a higher to lower tax bracket. Actually “split’ them and not tax-shifting.
Keep your “fiddle-diddling” plans to yourselves please and out of the public’s conscience.
We have Stephanie Dion, Jack Layton and Gilles Duceppe to “diddle” us with their stupid plans and ideas all year long, thank you.
Sincerely Yours,

Dear member of parliament,
Seems income-splitting would encourage one parent to stay at home to care for the children rather than needing welfare subsidies from the tax payers.
Obviously this would be costly to the government and money could be saved by cuts to tax benefits and social welfare spending and by making business pay a fairer share, (individual Income tax are a business cost, expense, do not overlook those economics), the higher tax brackets may need to be adjusted upward some.
Income-splitting should be a priority for the government including provincial governments and especially those considered “Conservative”.
A big vote getter no doubt.
Income-splitting should be for everyone.
Very do-able in my opinion.
Sincerely Yours,

I think my vote is changing.
You won’t win a majority by canceling the good things and passing off more CorpRott welfare to support business suffering from the affects of Free Trade and a high dollar.
‘The total cost of the four-year platform is projected at close to $8.7 billion.’
How can government possibly afford to eliminate the lowest tax bracket and income- splitting with this kind of business and Arts sucking-up?

The total cost of the four-year platform is projected at close to $8.7 billion.

The final year would be the most costly, at $2.8 billion.

It projects a cumulative surplus of $8 billion over the four years.

The platform pledges $20 million a year to help the forestry industry market its products abroad.

It also promises $1.6 billion to help manufacturing and resource industries.

Ensures Conservative government maintains a minority government at best.

You are now taking advantage of Canadians in my opinion and should likely not be re-elected.
“Kill” Arts funding in this country after the election stop the E.I. for the self-employed and get back your “spent” E.I surplus and KicK all of the QuebeCers out of the Cabinet and the house of commons, do so for your own good.
Need a pay raise?

“Income-splitting”should be for all Canadian families.
Attention should be payed to cutting income taxes of “the poor”, first.
Tax parity between Business/Industry and individuals should be a “social goal” and Business should be cut off from “Corporate Welfare” including any tax relief.

Manufacturing jobs in Canada are being lost due to the Free Trade deal and the Canadian dollars rise to U.S. parity which makes exports more expensive – “abrogate” Free Trade/NAFTA.
Health Care,- “An ounce of prevention……
Marijuana is a “gateway drug”, do build more jails and increase criminal drug sentencing, greatly.
Tobacco is an even bigger gateway drug ,do criminalize the sales of nicotine products.
Alcohol may not be a “gateway drug” in my very non-“expert” opinion.
Global Warming/ Climate Change is mostly a left-wing political fraud, “Kill” Kyoto.
